ning on checking out the Pen-
nington Players newest produc-
tion this week.
Please, before seeing the show,

muse, Kira, who descends from
Mt. Olympus to Venice Beach,
Calif., in 1980 in a quest to inspire
a struggling artist, Sonny, to
achieve the greatest artistic cre-
ation of all time the first roller
disco. The roller-skating, musical
adventure about following your
dreams despite the limitations
others set for you, features an
original hit score composed by
pop-rock legends Jeff Lynne (of
Electric Light Orchestra) and
John Farrar, and includes,

Guilty
plea in
kidnap
case
By ROBERT LINNEHAN
The Hopewell Sun
Bizarre news out of
Hopewell Township, as the U.S.
Attorneys Office district of
New Jersey is reporting that
a Pennsylvania man has plead-
ed guilty to engaging someone
he thought was a white su-
premacist to kidnap a New
Jersey woman and her child,
U.S. Attorney Paul J. Fishman
announced last week.
Jayen I. Patel, 41, of
Southampton, Pa., pleaded
guilty to an indictment charg-
ing him with one count of so-
liciting an individual to aid in
a kidnapping. The defendant
entered his guilty plea before
U.S. District Judge Freda L.
Wolfson in Trenton federal
court.
According to documents
filed in the case and state-
ments made in court, in Sep-
tember 2010, Patel reached out
to an FBI agent acting in an
undercover capacity (the
UC) through an Internet-
based social networking site.
As the relationship between
the UC and Patel developed,
Patel identified a woman and

Its a natural.
Last fall, Mike Rothwell, vice-
president and general manager of
Pennington Quality Market and
Sheryl Stone, a trustee of the
Recreation Foundation of
Hopewell Valley, sat down to ex-
plore how the market could help
with fundraising for a turf field
at Hopewell Valley Central High
School.
The Pennington Quality Mar-
ket is proud to announce a part-
nership with the recreation foun-
dation to raise funds for an Astro-
Turf field at Hopewell Valley Cen-
tral High School. Plans are under-
way to support Turf s Up! the
fundraising initiative for the field
by inviting loyal customers and
the entire community to join to-
gether for the project.
On Saturday, March 17, PQM
will donate 5 percent of sales to
support Turf s Up! to help the
recreation foundation close in on
their goal of $1 million.
Student athletes, musicians,
coaches and directors will be bag-
ging your groceries as a way of
showing their appreciation and
a raffle of items donated by local
businesses will add to the
fundraising total for the day.
The field will provide an out-
standing venue for field hockey,
football, lacrosse, soccer, march-
ing band, cheerleading and spe-
cial community events such as
graduation and homecoming.
With the communitys help and
support, the field will be con-
structed this coming summer.
Make your grocery list now
and plan to be part of this project.

Mellow and Xanadu, to name
a few.
Children of the 1980s certainly
know the movie, first-time Pen-
nington Players Director John
Boccanfuso said.
If you grew up in the 80s, you
know the music and you probably
have seen the movie. You know
how awful it is but also how
great it is because of how terri-
ble it was, he said with a laugh.
The movie, starring Olivia
Newton John, has become a cult
classic despite being a box office
bomb.
The original production of
Xanadu opened on Broadway in
2007 to glowing reviews and was
subsequently nominated for four
2008 Tony Awards, including Best
Musical. It broke house records at
the Helen Hayes Theatre, where it
enjoyed a run of 500-plus per-
formances.
The movie was a huge disas-
ter, but the Broadway show was
fantastic, he said. Its a happy
musical. Its cheesy, campy and
its just a fun musical.
The leads of the production,
Jaclyn Dixon who plays Clio
and Kara and Matt Reher who
plays Sonny had to be quadru-
ple threats during the production,
he said.
They had to sing, dance, act,
and of course, roller skate.
In fact, Dixon is on roller
skates almost throughout the en-
tire production, he said.
People can purchase tickets at
the Pennington Players website at
www.kelseyatmccc.org.
A special discount for the
Thursday, March 15 show will be
offered by typing the code
XA9A15 into the ticket pur-
chase window.
Visitors are also encouraged to
dress up in their best 80s clothes
for each performance, Boccanfu-
so said, as there will be a costume
competition each night.
The Pennington Players have
been entertaining local audiences
since 1951.
In 1964, they became the first
group ever to perform at the
Washington Crossing State Park
Open Air Theatre with a produc-
tion of Shaw's The Devil's Disci-
ple.

her daughter, whom he wished to
have kidnapped, claiming that the
childs father wanted custody of
the child.
Patels plan involved forcing
the woman to do things to make
her loose [sic] custody of her
child, according to representa-
tives in the district attorney of-
fice.
Patel and his associates,
who were to have aided in
the abduction, would have
been paid from money they ex-
torted from the victim, reports
said.
Additionally, reports say the
men would all have shared the
woman as a so-called slave fol-
lowing her abduction, reports
said.
In his guilty plea, reports say
Patel admitted he provided in-
structions to separate the
child from her mother, to restrain
the mother with handcuffs, and
to knock the mother unconscious
with a handgun if she
resisted.
Patel also provided the victims
names and address, urging the
UC to conduct surveillance on the
victims to determine their
schedules and how many people
lived in the residence, reports
said.
Reports say he also gave in-
structions regarding the makeup
of the group that should engage
in the kidnapping.
The solicitation charge to
which Patel pleaded guilty car-
ries a maximum potential penal-
ty of 20 years in prison and a
$125,000 fine.
He will be sentenced before a
judge on June 1.
Fishman praised the outstand-
ing work of special agents
of the FBI, under the direction
of Special Agent in Charge
Michael B. Ward, as well as
the other members of the
Newark Joint Terrorism Task
Force.

in our opinion
T
heres not a lot that Gov.
Christie does that doesnt pro-
voke a heated response from
someone, somewhere. Budget cuts, ed-
ucation reform, you name it, shortly
after the governor stops talking, some-
one tears into his proposal. And thats
not a bad thing. We mention it to point
out that the governor has a habit of
diving head-first into controversy
over and over again.
However, the governor is now back-
ing a constitutional amendment to re-
form the bail system in the state. Its a
move that he calls common sense.
We agree.
The measure would allow judges to
consider such things as the defen-
dants past dangerous behavior before
sending that person back out onto the
streets, often to cause more problems,
intimidate witnesses, etc.
This is a proposal that should re-
ceive widespread, bi-partisan support.
Its a move that is long overdue. Its a
move that will keep people safe and
help law enforcement put people be-
hind bars and keep them there.
The governor points to a number of
statistics from a 2007 study by the Bu-
reau of Justice Statistics to support
his measure: about one-third of re-
leased defendants were charged with
one or more types of pretrial miscon-
duct; nearly one-fourth had a bench
warrant issued for failing to appear;
and about one-sixth were arrested for
a new arrest with more than half of
these new arrests for felonies.
Indeed, at some point, someone is
going to object to depriving someone
who is not convicted of his or her con-
stitutional rights. And thats a reason-
able debate to hold.
But well side with the governor on
this one. Defendants who have a histo-
ry of violence, who are a threat to the
community, and who are likely to try
to intimidate witnesses against them
need to be locked up.
Its time to take a stand for public
safety. Passing this amendment would
do just that.
Yes to bail reform measure
Heres one Christie proposal that should be widely supported
Bail reform a smart move
Reform could give judges an opportu-
nity to keep dangerous people off the
streets unable to commit additional
crimes or to intimidate those testify-
ing against them.
The following items are taken from re-
ports on file with the Hopewell Police De-
partment:
Officer Christopher Vaccarino observed
a car pass several other cars over double
yellow lines along Trenton Harbourton
Road on Feb. 19. The car failed to stop for
Vaccarinos emergency lights and siren
when the officer attempted to stop the car.
The driver, later identified as a 17-year-old
boy, turned into a private driveway where
he was located by Vaccarino moments
later. The boy was placed under arrest and
transported to police headquarters for pro-
cessing. The juvenile was charged with
eluding police with a motor vehicle, reck-
less driving, passing on double yellow lines
and failing to yield to an emergency vehi-
cle.
The juvenile was later released into the
custody of a parent, and this case will be
heard in family court.
Sgt. William Springer responded to East
Prospect Street for the report of solicitors
going door to door without having a permit
on Feb. 21. Springer says he spoke with two
employees of a home remodeling group,
who were not in possession of a permit to
solicit in Hopewell Borough. The two men
were both issued summonses for the ordi-
nance violation, which will be heard in
municipal court.
Officer William Gaskill responded to a
hit and run crash along Pennington Rocky
Hill Road on Feb. 20. A witness told police a
dark colored sports utility vehicle, possibly
a Jeep, struck a mailbox. The driver, police
say, briefly got out of the car, but drove
away before Gaskill arrived at the scene.
Officer Michael Toth, along with other
officers, responded to a Maddock Road ad-
dress for the report of a burglary in
progress on Feb. 22. Police say the resident
of the home told them that she heard a
banging noise on the rear door of her
house.
When she went to answer the door, she
found it smashed out and a man, medium
height and medium build wearing dark
clothing, standing in the house. The resi-
dent ran out of the house and flagged down
a postal carrier who dialed 9-1-1. Officers
were unable to locate the man during a
search of the home and surrounding area
with the assistance of canine units. Noth-
ing was taken from the residence. Officers
from the Ewing Township Police Depart-
ment, Trenton Police Department, and the
Mercer County Sheriff s Office assisted
with the search. Detective Kevin Zorn is as-
sisting with this investigation.
Officer Joseph Maccaquano responded
to a Hopewell Pennington Road address in
response to a missing person investigation
involving a 16-year-old Hopewell Township
girl on Tuesday, Feb. 21. The girl had been
reported missing earlier in the morning
and information was developed that she
may be at this address. Maccaquano ar-
rived and observed several people, all
younger than 21, in the home. Maccaquano
also observed beer cans and beer bottles
out in the open in the home.
The missing girl was located a short
time later in the home, and she was re-
turned to the custody of her parents.
One adult man, and two adult women,
received summonses for violating the
township ordinance for the underage pos-
session/consumption of alcohol on private
property. Their cases will be heard in mu-
nicipal court. One underage girl and five
underage boys, including a resident of the
home, were charged with violating the
township ordinance for underage posses-
sion/consumption of alcohol on private
property. Their cases will be heard in fami-
ly court.
